Character · Book 4, The Gate of the Feral Gods
Agatha
A homeless woman with a shopping cart, an IKEA bag of spray paint and a pink flamingo with an arrow through its head, who set fire to the eldercare facility and walked down the dungeon's stairs cackling. Level two without ever going through the tutorial. She is edited out of the recap episode, and her cart is not what it seems.

Arc
Named by the Syndicate's liaison as an outside source Carl might have, 'or any of her helpers' — none are in his bubble (ch. 19); Carl remembers the second floor: 'Them critters already know I'm here.' Li Jun sees her, level 12, arrive from nowhere and go down the stairs early without a word (ch. 33). The epilogue's homeless man in handcuffs, screaming in a strange language in an airport parking garage as the world ends, goes unnamed; the book does not tie him to her (epilogue).
